Certification of packaged items with Amazon requires that the packaging pass a physical performance test.
Significant effort is made to prevent and mitigate risks associated with hazardous shock and vibration inputs along the way.
This process is vital for ensuring that products travel to customers safely and securely, eventually arriving damage free.
Data acquisition systems are critical for both product and package dynamic testing scenarios.
- Amgen is the world’s largest independent biotechnology firm. In August 2011, Amgen had twelve approved drugs or therapeutic biologicals.
- Their products are susceptible to damage from vibration and shock input.
The challenge
Warehouse storage and palletized shipping apply substantial compression loads on packaging. If packaging lacks structural integrity, it may collapse under pressure, leading to damage, waste, and higher costs.
SAVER™ AM Asset Monitor replacing SAVER 3M30+
Building on Lansmont's legacy of high fidelity autonomous monitoring instruments, the new SAVER™ AM provides all the indicators you need to rest assured your high-value shipments have been transported safel
It reminded us again that aerospace assets travel overland, through the air, in the sea, and finally up into space. So what is considered 'normal transport and operating conditions can be pretty extreme in our industry?
Lansmont leads the world in providing cutting-edge shock and vibration measurement and laboratory testing solutions.
As a business, ensuring the safety and integrity of your products during transit is paramount.
Step 4 – Cushion material performance evaluation
Material performance data should generally be available from the manufacturer of the material.
At Lansmont, our experts have spent years working directly with clients across industries, helping them navigate complex testing challenges.
For NASA, much of the launch excitement surrounding the big hardware occurs at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and even Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
- Research-grade measurement shock and vibration data recorder
- Full acceleration time-history waveform data recorder
- User-programmable trigger threshold
- User-defined pre-trigger recording
- 90-day continuous even
Our range of SAVER environmental data recorders enable capture and reporting on environmental variables and events, such as:
Amazon has partnered with ISTA to develop two 6 Series test methods to help simulate a journey of a package through Amazon’s fulfillment network.
Step 2 – Define product fragility
Just as the weight of the product can be measured using a scale, the product ruggedness can be measured with dynamic inputs.
- HVAC systems are large and sophisticated pieces of hardware with critical components and sub-assemblies beneath their simple, attractive covers.
- To deliver on the promise of reliability and quick, trouble-free installations, Goodman reali
- Amgen utilized Lansmont’s Field-to-Lab philosophy and our expert services to develop their own testing procedures.
- Vibration tests are performed at measured levels (not accelerated) and conducted inside an environmental chamber.
Typically, they provide an overall test plan with guidance to help determine “how high”, “how many times” and “in what orientations” to drop something. Standards organizations such as ISTA (International Safe Transit Ass
Lansmont leads the way in delivering advanced shock and vibration testing solutions to top corporations, government labs, and academic institutions globally.
Headquartered in Monterey, California, Lansmont Corporation provides state-of-the-art shock and vibration measurement and testing technology to the world’s leading companies, government laboratories and educational institutions.
The Lansmont PDT 80 is our most popular model of drop tester and is used for a wide range of drop testing requirements.
